Welcome Statement

Celebrant: Dearly beloved, we meet here today to witness a divine ceremony: the union of B_______________ and G_______________. With great regard, we come together to celebrate the love and devotion shared by these two individuals that stand here before us today. We are exceptionally blessed to be joined today by family and friends. The Bride and Groom are honored you could be here to participate in this important occasion.

Short Message

There are few joys in life greater than finding someone with whom you truly click. In that spirit, I will now share a short reading on soulmates from author Richard Bach: “A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are; we can be loved for who we are and not for who we are pretending to be. Each unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person we’re safe in our own paradise. Our soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When we’re two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we’ve found the right person. Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life.”

Over the course of their relationship, B_______________ and G_______________ have developed a strong bond based on shared values and mutual respect. With a firm foundation from which to grow, they have made the decision to take the vow of marriage and spend the entirety of their lives together.

Let us rejoice in the love on display before us here today. May we treasure these memories as B_______________ and G_______________,under the eyes of everyone here today, get set to begin their new life together.

Family Blessing

Bride’s Companion: I do.

Celebrant: (Addressing the guests) Marriage is a venerated institution, and one deserving of deep reverence. Today we observe the union of B_______________ and G_______________ in matrimony, a commitment they have chosen to accept with all the sincerity that it warrants.

While marriage is a blessed and serious tradition, it also brings us tremendous joy. Married life is full of surprises, adventures, and memory making,  and it’s all made possible by the everlasting power of love. When B_______________ and G_______________ finalize this union, they will begin a new life of partnership, one defined by shared desires, goals, and successes.

(Addressing the couple) B_______________ and G_______________, as you learn to live together as one; you will encounter many challenges that will help you grow as one. Spend time doing the things that make life your lives precious, cooperate with one another, always take time to laugh together, and never lose appreciation for the love that you both share. Remember to cling to the vows that you will make here today. Seek strength from one another, give hope to each other, and let your struggles guide you grow together. They say love can build bridges and move mountains, and they’re right. You’ll find that as your love grows and matures over time, it will prove to be both fulfilling and empowering.

There will be challenges in your lifes, but the strength of your bond will offer you protection against life’s difficulties. Always make your relationship your main priority, and continue to nurture one another. Through a devotion to love, together you will be able to conquer any obstacles that come your way.

Consecration

Celebrant: Under the eyes of your loved ones here today, I solemnly bear witness to these matrimonial proceedings. I will now finalize this sacred promise, that you will both enter into on this day.

The rite of marriage is an institution that dates far back in times, an important ritual that binds two people together for the rest of their lives. Today, as you form this bond, you are choosing to take a vow that is as sacred today as it was to your ancestors so many years ago.

Love is the soil from which life grows. As Carl Sagan famously wrote: “The world is so exquisite with so much love and moral depth. We should remain grateful every day for the brief but magnificent opportunity that life provides. The sum of all our evolution, our thinking and our accomplishments is love.”
